In my classroom I intend to use images from the web frequently. I will take the greatest care to make sure they are appropriate for kids, some pictures may be somewhat graphic, but if they are ever questionable I will post them here first for your views and comments. The only time I can imagine an image may be questionable is in regards to history or science.
I also intend to use images to illustrate places outside our field trip reaches. There are times where I may create a virtual field trip through photographs. Other photographs may be used to illustrate things that cannot be seen by the naked eye or are very hard to witness in a school setting.
Similarly, there are great resources on the web in regards to work sheets and activities. I fully intend to use already created documents for our students' learning. Already, I have asked the kids to do a search-and-find picture and write a story telling about what they think could be occuring.
Throughout the year, pictures will show up in our curriculum. Some may be my own, some may belong to fellow teachers in the building, and some may come from various sources on the world wide web.
Please let me know if you have any questions or pictures you would like to share with the class. This is your place to communicate with me about questions, concerns, or random tidbits; do not be afraid to utilize. Learning does not stop with a bell at the end of the school day, I encourage you to continue their education in the home!
I will upload some pictures from my own albums that relate to material in class. Feel free to view my photographs at Flickr.
